NFT: Question about changing my phone location

Big Rick in FL : 12/16/2017 9:55 am

Trying to watch a soccer game today. None of the US channels or websites are showing it. I can stream it, but the quality wasn't great. A United Kingdom website is showing it for UK residents. Is there any way I can trick my phone into believing I'm in the UK? Thanks for any help!

Can use a VPN that has a UK proxy, but there�s a chance that the website will detect it and not allow access.

Search for free VPNs and give it a shot.

Would I need to install anything

To use the VPN?

Yeah, there will be a client.

Firefox, Opera and Chrome have VPN plugins (which are really just proxies) but I can't attest to how well they work. Those would be an easy first step to see if it works for you.

Can I install it on Chrome from my phone?

I know you can't on iOS, not sure about Android. Check the App stores for free VPNs and see if they work for you. The free ones may not support the bandwidth you need for streaming though.

But can't hurt to check it out.

Free VPNs are usually trash..

I use ExpressVPN (just google it), its like 5 bucks a month, has a great mobile and desktop app and using it is a breeze. Has never failed me yet, especially for using it with International NFL Game Pass.
